NEW DELHI: Hours after shifting Kiren Rijiju from the law ministry, the Centre on Thursday moved Minister of State Prof S P Baghel to the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
This was necessitated after Arjun Ram Meghwal was made the Minister of State with Independent charge of the Ministry of Law and Justice.
Meanwhile, bureaucrat-turned-politician Arjun Ram Meghwal on assumed charge as the Minister of Law and Justice after Kiren Rijiju was removed from the high-profile ministry in a surprise development.
He made it clear that there was no confrontation with the judiciary and that his priority would be to ensure speedy justice to all.
Rijiju, whose brief stint in the Law Ministry saw frequent run-ins with the judiciary, has been given the earth sciences ministry.
The appointment of Meghwal, who is also the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and Culture, comes ahead of the Rajasthan assembly election later this year.
He is a three-term MP from Bikaner.
